Credit data analysis

Abstract

A computer system receives credit information relating to a consumer and a number of high scorers, and determines credit score factors associated with the consumer and the high scorers. The system may construct flippable score factor displays comprising consumer specific information specific to a credit category that may be reversed to display explanatory text regarding how that credit category affects their credit report. The score factor display may include a comparison between the consumer's scores and the high scorers' scores in a number of categories. Scores of high scorers may be periodically refreshed. Additionally, the group of high scorers may be limited according to a particular demographic, such as a geographic location, that may be selectable by a user.

What is claimed is:

       5. The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 2 , wherein the transition includes visually rotating either horizontally or vertically of the particular pane. 
     
     
       6. The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 2 , wherein the reverse side of the particular pane is of a different color than an initial side of the particular pane. 
     
     
       7. The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the user interface data is configured for a mobile smart phone or a tablet. 
     
     
       8. The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 7 , wherein the user selects the particular pane via a touch screen interface. 
     
     
       9. The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the additional user interface data is optimized for a user interface display on a mobile smart phone. 
     
     
       10. The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the visual indication includes an arrow. 
     
     
       11. The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the visual indication includes an upwards arrow for positive influence or a downward arrow for negative influence. 
     
     
       12. A computer-implemented method comprising:
 accessing, by one or more processors of a computing system, consumer credit data associated with a consumer, wherein the consumer credit data is stored in a consumer credit database; 
 identifying, by the one or more processors, corresponding credit impact categories for the consumer credit data, wherein the credit impact categories represent categories of credit data influencing a credit score; 
 for the consumer credit data corresponding to a credit impact category, determining, by the one or more processors, whether the consumer credit data influences the credit score negatively or positively; 
 generating, by the one or more processors, user interface data, wherein the user interface data is configured to display a portion of a user interface on a user device associated with a user, wherein the user interface includes, for each individual credit impact category of the credit impact categories:
 a first portion of the user interface for the individual credit impact category, wherein the user interface comprises a plurality of columns and rows of panes; 
 a description of the individual credit impact category; 
 information related to a portion of the consumer credit data, wherein the portion corresponds to the individual credit impact category; and 
 a visual indication of a negative or positive influence for the consumer credit data that corresponds to the individual credit impact category, wherein the visual indication of the negative or positive influence includes at least one of: a first color for the negative influence or a second color for the positive influence; 
 
 receiving a selection of a particular portion of the user interface by the user on the user device; and 
 in response to receiving the selection of the particular portion of the user interface by the user, generate additional user interface data configured to display, in a new portion of the user interface of the user device, additional information corresponding to a first credit impact category explaining how the first credit impact category affects the credit score, wherein the particular portion corresponds to the first credit impact category of the credit impact categories, wherein the additional information includes at least a portion of the consumer credit data that corresponds to the first credit impact category. 
 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 12 , wherein the user interface data is configured to display information corresponding to the first credit impact category for a population in a geographic region.
